NOOOOOO, I so do not like the fake bead lock thing. Leave it, it looks KILLER as it is.

 

[DieselMinded]

Ive never seen the bed Locker on these rims ... there are Threaded holes in the rim ... If I dont get the bead locker Ill have to find some Chrome Set screws or something for the holes ???



Dont want there to be a bolt head sticking out



and if I dont do something They will most likly get plugged up with road gunk

I had 40x18. 5 DC's on my last Chevy tuck with only 4" of lift. They were unstopable in the sand and worked very well on the pavement but my brother had a lot of separation problems with his 36" DC's in the early 90's? Good luck and I would love to hear how they are a year from now.

Well BM, do the tires rub. They sure look good thats forsure

 

[DieselMinded]

they rub a weee little bit at full turn ntw told me they would ,,,,, Its not enough to matter but it is an excuse for a leveling kit and longer shocks



I sent Dick Cepek a couple picks since the rims are a new product of theres this was there reply

Chad,

Looks good!!!! I like that look and I will send some decals for you. Thanks for the purchase and the pics.



Thanks,

[DMcPherson]

wow looks good. that was cool of them as well. and your truck is Identical to mine. well except for the sheels which is nice I can egt an idea of what a different wheel would look like on it. lol

Bob.

I also had 40" Cepek Fun Countrys and Monster Mudders on my 78 Dodge.

But as I recall, they were only a C rated tire, (15" rims).

Plus a non-radial. Were like 4 square tires in the winter for the first few miles.



I have been running the FC-II's for about 2 years now.

Made by Mickey Thompson, and a heavy weight range.

I would honestly say these are the best tires I ever owned.

But I always run a large tire, and every truck has been lifted.

They are smooth riding, and not very noisy for the tread design.

Great in snow, wet roads, loose dirt, and packed mud.

Haven't been in soft soupy deep mud yet.

Wear is excellent, and no cupping. Really like them.

Hey DieselMinded,

The truck look's great! I'm planning some 305's for mine in the spring. What do you have for a lift. Your truck sit's just like I want! Thank's

 

[DBraunig]

[DieselMinded]

No Lift ... they barly rub ... a leveling kit and shcoks will get it where it needs to be for full turn ... . I was cleaning the garage and picked up one of the boxes from the rims and heard a rattle whats this ,,,, 4 boxes of S/S bolts and washers with "DC" on them to go in the bead locker holes ... Yeahhhhhh



Very Cool they look even better now . . LOL

Hey DM - That's the exact setup that I've been eyeing for a while. Sure looks great on your truck! How do you like them so far? What kind of deal did you get and where did you get 'em? I can't wait to get mine - maybe another month or so...

$1383. 60 from www.ntwonline.com ( National Tire And Wheel )



Thats mounted ballanced and new lug's ect shipped to my door step .



I lovce em' and can make it up my drive in 2wd ... . I would of never thought an A/T would go better than a M/T ... Must be that they are alot wider ,,, Surface area type of thing ?. .



Be warned tho' a little mud puddle will get your truck looking like you just went mod bogging ... LOL



Can do fender flares if ya want ...



They do rub a little ... been eye balling Leveling kits ,,, I may go with the real good shocks that have remote resivors ... not sure how they will work on our trucks since our shocks are inside our coils ?



Thanks for the compliments guys
